MR9600 Quick Start

1.Turn off all power to the CommPlete chassis.

2.Using the provided 9-pin null modem cable (PN 45009600), connect a COM port on a PC to the Config Port connector on the back of the CommPlete chassis. Turn on the PC and run Multi-Tech MultiExpress, or any standard datacomm program, in direct connect mode. To communicate with the controller card, use the following settings: 115,200 bps, 8N1, and no flow control.

3.Turn on the power supply or supplies for the CommPlete chassis. If the CommPlete Communications Server is already on, press the reset button on the MR9600 controller’s front panel with the end of a paper clip. A message appears that says Welcome to the CommPlete Communications Server (MR9600).

4.At the username prompt, type supervisor and press ENTER.

5.At the password prompt, type supervisor and press ENTER. The following prompt appears: [0] A:\ #.

6.Type se (or setenviron) and press ENTER.

7.The following menu appears:

MultiCommManager Environment Setup

1.System Defaults Setup

2.Device Specific Setup

Enter Selection (<1>,2, q, -):

9.Type 1 to set up the system defaults. The settings you create in the System Defaults Setup menus become the default settings for any new device that is inserted into the CommPlete chassis. In data entry lines, current defaults are displayed in angle brackets. Press ENTER to accept a default and go on to the next option or menu.

10.In the System Defaults Setup menu, type 1 to set up network defaults. If required, type the IP addresses for the default gateway (the local router, if any), subnet mask, and DNS servers; otherwise leave them set at 0.0.0.0.

11.In the System Defaults Setup menu, type 2 to set up RAS defaults. Be sure to choose the proper operating system for the RAS. If you are running RASExpress 5.0 or 5.1, be sure to choose option 1 (pre 5.2); if you are running RASExpress 5.2 or later, be sure to choose option 5.

12.In the System Defaults Setup menu, type 3 to set up RAS security defaults. Here you can change the default administrator password. You will be prompted for primary and secondary server IP addresses. If you are using local security (RASExpress security, not RADIUS), leave these addresses set at the 0.0.0.0 default.

13.In the System Defaults Setup menu, type 4 to set up the T1 defaults to match your T1 line. Leave the transmit level set at -0.0 dB unless you have problems.

14.After completing the system defaults setup, select option 2 in the MultiCommManager Environment Setup menu to set up the individual devices in the CommPlete. The options that are most important to set now are the IP addresses for the controller and the IP addresses and operating system for each RAS. If these are not properly set, you will be unable to remotely configure the CommPlete.

15.After setting up the CommPlete’s individual devices, save your changes and log out of the controller.

16.Telnet into the RASExpress server.
